A dental emergency can happen at any time, and when it does, it is important to act quickly.

Our team will promptly assess your situation and provide the care you need as quickly as possible.
Contact Your Emergency Dentist in Sherwood
We understand that dental emergencies simply cannot wait. That is why we focus on providing same-day care whenever possible and why one of our dentists is always on call to see emergency patients outside normal business hours. Our dentists have been caring for families in the Sherwood community for over 30 years, and they are committed to being there for their patients when it matters most.
While you wait to be seen, here are a few steps that may help in common emergency situations:
- Knocked-out tooth — Don't touch the root and do not rinse it with water. Instead, use dairy milk. If it is a baby tooth, do not reimplant the tooth. Adult teeth need to be placed into the socket as a matter of urgency.
- Cracked or fractured tooth — If a cracked or fractured tooth can be saved, it is best to treat it early to reduce the chances of the fracture getting worse.
- Lost filling or crown — Avoid chewing on the affected side until one of our dentists is able to treat it.
- Toothache or abscess — Take over-the-counter pain relief for a toothache as directed by your dentist or GP until you can be seen.
